Tooth&Clawr is excited to welcome a new host for the Experimentica session. Sam Hasler is an artist based in Cardiff who uses text as a main focus within his practice. He will be hosting alongside T&C artist Kathryn Ashill as part of their collaboration BACKWARDS THINKING. We will miss Phil Owen at this session and wish him luck for a new performance he will be presenting at the festival. We also look forward to having Phil's input and great hosting ability for the future session of Tooth&Clawr which will focus on Chapter Galleries next exhibition (date TBC).

Our texts for the EXPERIMENTICA session of Tooth&Clawr will be Ian McEwan's short story 'Solid Geometry' which features in his book of short stories 'First Love, Last Rites'. Our second choice is an interview with Charlie Kaufman for the BAFTA and BFI Screenwriters' Lecture Series titled 'Screenwriters on Screenwriting'. We cant wait to pick these apart with you.

For a copy of the text either pop inot Chapter and ask at box office, or contact us at toothandclawr@gmail.com

Tooth&Clawr is going back to its roots and is making an appearance at this years Experimentica. We have chosen some texts that we thought will support the overall festival theme of the Unseen, whilst we have also taken into consideration the title BACKWARDS THINKING, which is this years contextualisation programme.

We'll be meeting at Chapter (hopefully in the gallery, but otherwise upstairs) on Tuesday the 23rd, at 7. The main texts for this session HG Wells' The Time Machine and Alan Lightman' Einstein's Dreams. Both pieces of writing present a particularly complex ideas on future and time travel. If you would like a copy of the texts then please email us at toothandclawr@gmail.com.

Hello there!
Sorry for the silence since our last Tooth&Clawr session that took place at the end of last July. It was a huge success, with great discussion and debate around the 'Something Like Nothing Happens Anywhere'. The title of the last exhibition was taken from Philip Larkin's 'I Remember I Remember', which gave us a strong literary foundation on which to make our reading selections.

For those who missed the session, or who haven't read the poem this below link to a video of Larkin himself reading the poem is for you:

We are gearing up for a busy and exciting Autumn and Winter programme. Alongside our usual Tooth&Clawr sessions, we will also hold two sessions to compliment Experimentica 2012: Unseen.
We look forward to the fruitful discussions that we will have with you about art and literature in the upcoming months.
